The TIS National interpreter recruitment process

TIS National uses the following interpreter recruitment process:

You submit your application to TIS National via the online application form.

A decision will made based on your qualifications, experience and availability about whether your application will progress to the next stage. Due to the large number of applications we receive each week, the assessment of your application may take some time.

If your application has been found suitable you will be progressed to the next stage of our recruitment process. TIS National will send you a Deed of Standing Offer to sign and paperwork which you need to complete and return to TIS National.

Upon receipt of your correctly executed deed and further documentation you will be invited to attend a one on one telephone induction with a TIS National Interpreter Liaison Officer. The induction is a process that every interpreter commencing work with TIS National must complete. Induction helps our new interpreters to gain knowledge about completing assignments, how to use our systems and other important information. You will also find out about your TIS National Interpreter Liaison Officer.

After you complete the one-on-one induction session you will be added to our interpreter panel and can start accepting work from TIS National.
